I am currently experiencing a CTD some time after entering the helgen keep ( in the opening of the game ). After the crash, I am unable to load that save. When I try it just crashes to desktop each time. This happened on a completely clean/fresh install of skyrim and no previous nmm skyrim files. No direct modifications to .ini files. I used nvidia inspector to set max pre-rendered frames to 1 and force vsync off and set frame limiter to 60 fps. I am not using any enb or reshade I am not using any modified dll's I am not using skse I am running at 4k res I am on windows 8.1 I have nvidia driver version 391.01 I have 16GB ram I have a titan x gpu I am running the latest version of NMM and using LOOT to sort my load order I have the following mod's installed: 60 fps interface a quality world map - 9.0.1 - vivid with stone roads axes chop wood beehives 4k blowing in the wind book covers skyrim desaturated caves 4k - 1st option 4k dawnguard delayed - level 50 dawnguard delayed - no vampire attacks in towns disable cinematic kills dust effects by hhaleyy enhanced blood textures faster skill leveling 2017 firewood weight reduction fluffy snow 2k footprints 1.5.3 forgotten retex project get on with it - no more waiting for doors glacier 4k hd road signs 4k high poly project illy's immersive fire sounds improved closefaced helmets improved weapon impact EFFECTS correct metal instant mining js dragon claws 4k lighter pickaxes and woodcutter axes morrowind style soulgems no bethesda intro no magic ninja ai dodge realistic conversations realistic ragdolls and force realistic water two realistic water two LOD fix rebalanced leveled lists relighting skyrim rich merchants rs children overhaul run and walk at your pace run for your lives skyrim 2017 textures 4k bridges skyrim 2017 textures 4k farmhouse skyrim 2017 textures 4k high hrothgar skyrim 2017 textures 4k landscape with FIX skyrim 2017 textures 4k mountains skyrim 2017 textures 4k roads 1.1 skyrim 3d trees 3.03 skysight skins - ultra hd male textures and real feet meshes 4k spectacular night eye se static mesh improvement mod (full) unofficial skyrim special edition patch water's edge fix - vanilla weather Below is the full contents of one of the crash reports ( they all look pretty much the same )

STEPS TAKEN TO ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE ISSUE: I have tried disabling my mod's, one-by-one, and loading the same save each time until all of the mod's were disabled and I still was crashing while trying to load the save. I also tried disabling DEP, but still crashes. I also tried loading an earlier save ( I hit f5 to save before character creation; so I tried loading that save ), but it just sits at the loading screen forever and never loads the game. *Correction* if you actually wait long enough the game will just exit to desktop, from here, without any error message. On a whim I tried starting up a new game and saving and then loading the save before my game crashed to see if I could load *any* save, but I just experience the same behavior as above. I tried disabling all custom nvidia inspector and nvidia control panel settings for skyrimse, but that didn't work either. Turned on papyrus logging and looked at all 4 of the logs it created after the game failed to load and exited... they all have similar messages regarding 3 mod's in particular: dawnguard delayed, dust effects, run for your lives - will test and see if these are the only culprits... although this did clear up a bunch of errors and warnings in papyrus, I am still experiencing crashes to desktop in the helgen attack opening sequence (at various points) I also tried running sseedit and cleaning all dirty mod's and starting a new game, but still crashed in same spot FINALLY narrowed it down to one of these four mod's (that is causing the CTDs): get on with it axes chop wood blowing in the wind improved closefaced helmets will continue testing until I find which one
